Ragnar and Bryson were shocked when they saw Lucius vanish. "What the hell just happened?!"
Ragnar immediately glared at Astorius in rage. "Astorius! What the hell have you done?!"
Ragnar launched himself toward the arena. He had already fused with his beast, the Lava Drake.
Without hesitation, he grabbed Astorius by the collar with his burning right claw and lifted him into the air like a ragdoll.
His eyes burned with fury as he roared into Astorius' face. "What the hell did you do to Lucius, bastard?!"
Astorius, barely conscious, let out a weak chuckle. Then, slowly, he raised his right hand. He uncurled His fingers, revealing a small, broken orb in his palm.
Astorius also suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly, "HAHAHAHA! I DID IT!"
He clenched the broken orb tightly as he was really satisfied with what he had done. "I HAVE BANISHED LUCIUS FROM THIS WORLD!"
